Telling Ain't Training, 2nd edition

The foundational and go-to book for anyone who does training in the talent development field.

When the first edition of Telling Ain''t Training was published in 2002, its practical, learner-focused approach quickly became a favorite with learning and development professionals, as well as school teachers, parents, professors, and anyone else who trains, educates, or instructs. Chock-full of myth-busting research and ready-to-use tools, always delivered in a lighthearted and entertaining style, Telling Ain''t Training set new standards for the training industry.
